Red Sea Attacks and Iran Tensions Drive Oil Surge, Trump Escalates Threats
Houthi terrorists struck two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, pushing oil prices to $99 per barrel and threatening a second global shipping choke point beyond the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump escalated rhetoric, threatening to bomb Iranian bridges or power plants for any attack on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, though analysts note the Houthi attack occurred in a different location. Trump also indicated U.S. forces may soon strike Iran's underground nuclear site, Pickaxe Mountain. Meanwhile, polling shows declining support for the Iran war among Trump's MAGA base, with only a third now viewing it as worth the economic cost.
